Our Trustees

As an Army Officer I have regularly had my mental and physical resilience tested in training and on operations. However, nothing could have prepared me for the emotional turmoil of a fertility journey, primarily due to male factor issues. Undergoing ICSI gave us the miracle of our daughter, and I am now committed to doing all I can to help others. It is such a privilege to join the amazing team at Fertility Network UK. I will endeavour to use the leadership and change management experience gained from my profession and previous advocacy with the Defence Fertility Network to support those doing such incredible work to support others.

I am a finance professional with extensive experience across diverse sectors. I've been involved in transformative changes, enhancing business processes and driving substantial gains. I excel at cultivating collaborative relationships with leadership teams, offering insightful analysis while fostering a culture of constructive dialogue. Outside my career, I am deeply committed to advocating for fertility issues, drawing from personal experiences of witnessing loved ones navigate the challenges of infertility.

It’s a dream come true to be part of this amazing cause. Infertility has dictated my entire adult life so to use my experience of IVF, miscarriage, egg donation, mental health (and everything in-between!) to make positive changes for the rest of our community will be so fulfilling. I have been a media and support group volunteer for Fertility Network UK, as well as contributing to other fertility-based projects and companies in the past. My background in education, charity sector marketing communications, fundraising and grant management combined with personal experiences hopefully means I am equipped to take on this exciting and important role.

I’m a marketing specialist working in fast-moving consumer goods industries with experience in brand development, creative and communications. My daughter was born through surrogacy after suffering many years of unexplained infertility. I am passionate about helping others and hope that both my lived and professional experiences will bring value to the charity, supporting people through their own tough times of trying to build their family.
